I can see JR's point that there might be a coach sometime that would misconstrue what I'm trying to convey. But that hasn't happend to me yet. It's been just the right "response" to certain coach comments at certain times, and has helped the game move forward with the coach coaching and the refs reffing.
Why would I not recommend that tool for someone else to have in the kit?

And why would you get defensive when others point out the potential flaw of it and recommend not adding it?
Simply put it's confusing. Now that may distract the coach by having them thinking...what did she say?...and that may have worked to your advantage, but the likelihood of it making a situation worse is there.
Why use something out of place and simple, when a direct and appropriate nod and, "I heard you," "I'll watch for it," or a, "That's enough," is just as simple and lacks any possible confusion?
